General Normalized Message Properties

This category of normalized message properties applies to both inbound and outbound scenarios.

You can access these properties from the left and right panes of the BPEL Mapper. In the following screen capture, the nodes in the right pane are expanded to show the properties.

User Properties Property (org.glassfish.openesb.jms.userproperties)

This property enables you to configure JMS properties, which are custom headers.

This property is the only normalized message property that you cannot configure in the BPEL Mapper. Instead, you must go to the Source view and manually enter a copy statement. Add a period and the property name to org.glassfish.openesb.jms.userproperties. For example:

<copy>
  <from>$SoapInboundOperationIn.part1/ns0:StockSymbol</from>
  <to variable="JMSOutOperationIn" 
    sxnmp:nmProperty="org.glassfish.openesb.jms.userproperties.StockSymbol"/>
</copy>

The default property type is string. If you want to specify a type other than string, then you must enter an additional copy statement for the type. For example:

<copy>
  <from>$SoapInboundOperationIn.part1/ns0:StockPrice</from>
  <to variable="JMSOutOperationIn" 
    sxnmp:nmProperty="org.glassfish.openesb.jms.userproperties.StockPrice"/>
</copy>
<copy>
  <from>'float'</from>
  <to variable="JMSOutOperationIn" 
    sxnmp:nmProperty="org.glassfish.openesb.jms.userproperties.StockPrice.type"/>
</copy>

This property is applicable to all of the binding types.
